A Chinese official threatened to behead the Japanese prime minister after she suggested Japan could become involved in a war over Taiwan.

Sanae Takaichi, the Japanese leader, said Chinese military action against Taiwan, such as a blockade, could trigger a “survival-threatening situation”, which could force Japan to become involved.

In response, Xue Jian, China’s consul general in Osaka, threatened to “cut off a dirty neck without a moment of hesitation” in a post on X along with a news article citing Ms Takaichi’s comments.

“Are you ready for that?” he added, followed by an angry-face emoji.

The Chinese diplomat also shared several posts written by other people, including one which said that if Japan were to attack Chinese forces, “it would immediately provoke a counterattack from China”, and if Ms Takaichi wants to “casually talk about initiating war as if it’s nothing, the country is finished”.

Minoru Kihara, Japan’s top government spokesman, told reporters on Monday the post was “extremely inappropriate”.

He said Japan’s foreign ministry and the Japanese embassy in China lodged a protest and asked for the post to be deleted.

The post is no longer visible on Mr Xue’s official X account.

Lin Jian, China’s foreign ministry spokesman, said on Monday that the country had lodged a serious protest with Japan over Ms Takaichi’s comments, claiming attempts by Japanese officials to “meddle on cross-strait affairs” would cause serious damage to China-Japan relations.

Ms Takaichi stood by her comments on Monday when asked in parliament to clarify her position.

“Although I did state a number of possible scenarios, I also said the government will make a comprehensive judgment on whether the situation constitutes a ‘survival-threatening situation’ taking into account all information,” she said.

Beijing maintains it has sovereignty over Taiwan, which the government in Taipei firmly rejects.

Most Japanese leaders have chosen to stay away from the hot-button issue to avoid confrontation with China.

Japan is one of Taiwan’s closest neighbours, with its closest island less than 70 miles away, and hosts more than 50,000 US troops, which experts have referred to as the “tip of the spear” if the US were to come to Taiwan’s defence.

The initial comment by Ms Takaichi on Friday was made in response to a question about what would be considered a survival-threatening situation.

Ms Takaichi said a line of Chinese ships around Taiwan would not fall into that category, but if Beijing carried out a naval blockade while fighting was taking place, that would constitute a survival-threatening situation and Japan’s Self-Defense Forces would be sent in to offer support.

Since Mr Xue’s post on Saturday, many in Japan, including the country’s ambassador to Australia, have called for him to be designated a persona non grata and expelled from the country, claiming the post was “excessively rude”.

George Glass, the US ambassador to Japan, also responded to Mr Xue’s social media post, saying it was “time for Beijing to behave like the ‘good neighbour’ it talks repeatedly about – but fails repeatedly to become”.

China’s ministry of foreign affairs criticised Ms Takaichi earlier this month for meeting with Taiwan officials on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea.

The relationships between China 🇨🇳 and Japan, then India 🇮🇳 and Pakistan 🇵🇰, and then China and India 🇮🇳, and finally Japan and South Korea, will ultimately determine the fate of the developing world in the coming years. How? If these countries can find ways to make peace, sort the issues around the South China Sea, link their economies better, then they have the market to not just consume all they produce, but to consume almost all that is exported to their countries..

Add neighbouring Indonesia and Russia into that mix, and you have a very productive population within these countries that is chasing, wait for it, 5 BILLION people. And these are not 5 billion hungry and jobless people, but 5 billion extremely productive and increasingly richer people. What does this mean for the developing world..?

It simply means that if any country on earth can identify one or two or three or four very marketable products/goods that she can competitively export for solid earnings, you immediately have atleast 2 billion(about half of their population)upwardly moving customers waiting for you and your products with solid cash over there in the east.

This is the easiest way to circumvent western draconian control of world trade and economics. The whole western population is barely upto the population of China alone. Most Chinese provinces are richer than two or three western countries combined...And their appetite for raw materials and rare goods are insatiable. Imagine where Nigeria is exporting basics like quality cassava/starch, yams or palm oil to these areas(goods that cant easily be produced in other regions of the world) in huge quantity.
You may not really need to export jets and computers to be rich!

These people are biting off more than they can chew.

Someone in that region has not yet opened the file of China; that is why they keep making too much noise. Just like Iran, they talk too much and think that showing off and shouting strong makes them tougher than their counterparts. Little do they know that it is better to build in silence.

The whole world knows that Japan is far more technologically developed than China but is just waiting for the time that China will permit them to prove to them the Israel deal. The same way everyone knew that Israel, although quiet and smaller, was way beyond the league of Iran.

The day Kasala bursts, Japan will literally do a military parade in the skies of Beijing just as Israel did in Tehran. But this time around, one will protest for them in the West because they are not muzzies.

These are the pairs:

Israel - Iran and Hamas
Japan - China and North Korea
